My Superman

Chapter 4: Broke Down

"OHMYGOD! I'M SO SORRY!" I screamed as I run to where Stella was knocked out. She laid on the wooden floor with no movements at all. Everyone crowded around her. Mr Anderson had to call in the school nurse. She arrived in split seconds as a matter of fact. She took out an electric shocker and revived Stella. Her eyes immediately opened and coughed. Her face still looked pale.

"What happened?" Stella asked as she looked around her, surrounded by classmates. Everyone turned to look at me.

"I-I hit you with the ball straight in your face and you knocked out.. I'm sorry.." I mumbled.

"Its okay. I guess accidents happen right? What matters is that I'm okay now." She says as she giggles with a grin. Most of my classmates helped her up from the wooden ground, while some rolled their eyes as though I hit the ball on purpose. Great. Just great. Stella walked away, along with my classmates. I sat down on the benches and sighed, staring blankly at the ground.

"I know you did that on purpose."

"You're just jealous that Stella gets all the attention."

Those words flowed through my mind. I immediately snapped back to reality as soon as I heard a basketball bouncing. Seeing a pair of feet in front of my eyes, I tilted my head a little and when I saw his face, I immediately got up and walked away.

"You're jealous that Stella and I are together now, aren't you?" His deep voice echoed through the hall.

I stopped,

"I know I shouldn't be having this feeling, but what if I still do love you, Dann?" I whispered to myself before turning around to face him.

"I'm not jealous. I no longer love you like how I used to when we were together. You were with someone else, behind my back. I really couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Multiples of chances that I gave you, yet you took it all for granted. Now, you're dating my best friend. Or is she even my best friend now that she dated you? I thought we were going to have a bright future together, that we were going to last forever. No. You left me hanging, broken." I let it all out except one.

Dann stood there, not saying a word. He stared into my eyes, I couldn't help but to turn away before things go the wrong way. I don't want to fall for him again. I lied to him, I lied to myself, my feelings. Why? All for the sake of his and Stella's happiness.

I walked away, towards the door of the hall, and immediately went to the ladies'. Tears flowed down my face,

"My life is such a horrible thing. Why would anyone want me? How would I know if Colton truly loves me? What if he's the same as Dann? " All the questions popped up in my head. I stopped myself from the tears, took a deep breath and released.

I walked towards the mirror and stared at myself,

trying to stop myself from bursting into tears again. I gritted my teeth, and sighed. I wiped my tears and washed my face. As soon as I got out, Colton walked pass and stopped as soon as he saw me.

"What's wrong babe? Why are you sobbing? And why are your eyes red?" He questioned.

What should I say? I can't possibly tell him what happened. That would be crazy.

"Nothing, I'm just having runny nose and my eyes are feeling sort of tired." I answered with an assuring smile.

Deep inside, the urge to just cry out loud was just so strong that you try to keep it in.

"Well, okay then. You wanna eat something?" he continued.

"Sure."

We made our way to the canteen. He was there, Dann was there. With Stella. They look so happy together.
